Seven people share their recollections as children of Japanese immigrants to the United States. They explore why their parents left Japan, their experiences during World War II, what it was like growing up as Japanese-Americans in Nevada, and the cultural differences between themselves and their parents. The interviews were done by Noriko Kunitomi, an anthropology student from Japan at the University of Nevada, Reno in 1992. Although her interviews are neither deep nor broad, they are important; without them we would have no oral history record of the experiences of Japanese-Americans in Nevada.
